Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95

Identify the area of the rhombus. PLEASE HELP! I'm desperate!!
Naddika [18.5K]

Area = 1/2(diagonal) * √4*side^2 - diagonal^2

Area = 1/2(16)*√(4*17^2 - 16^2)

Area = 8 * √(4*289-256)

Area = 8 *√900

Area = 8 * 30

Area = 240 m^2
